77 per cent of Australians believe climate change is occurring

A recent survey conducted by the Climate Institute has found that 77 per cent of Australians believe that climate change is occurring. Of the 2000 survey participants, 90 per cent believed the Federal Government has a responsibility to drive action on this issue.

The results from this survey were the strongest in eight years because citizens are actually witnessing first hand the changes in weather and the increase in weather related natural disasters.

People are becoming more and more convinced something needs to be done about climate change, as issues such as protecting The Great Barrier Reef become increasingly more important.
